Osinbajo Has Capacity to take Nigeria to Great Heights, Says Gov Zulum

The presidential bid of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, received further boost on Monday, in Yobe and Borno States where the VP received strong expressions of support from the Governors of Borno, Yobe States, as well as the traditional rulers.

The VP stopped at intervals to acknowledge the loud cheers from the crowd, and also received warm welcome at the palaces – first in Yobe, the Emir of Damaturu, HRH Hashimi El-Kanemi; and later in Borno, the Shehu of Borno, HRH Alhaji Abubakar Ibn Umar Garbai Al-Amin El-Kanemi.

In Yobe State, for instance, the Emir of Damaturu prayed for the VP’s success.

“Your Excellency, we will, by the Grace of God, join you; support you in prayers and in all aspects to see that you excel; and at the end of the day, we pray that God will make you the President of this great country, Nigeria. By the time you will return back, we will receive you with the Grand Durbar of the El-Kanemi,” the Emir stated.

Similarly, the Shehu of Borno assured the VP that “there is nothing we cannot do for you to succeed in Borno State. And we thank you continuously & pray, not only for your support, but for your success. I wish you all the best, God’s guidance & protection.”

During the VP’s meeting with Borno delegates, the State Gov said “it is the prayers of all Nigerians at this critical time for a visionary leader that will take the country to a greater height; and that leader with the capacity & capability to achieve this is Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.”

He said the State’s party chairman, Hon. Ali Bukar Balori, was right when he described the VP as the party’s candidate, noting that others who came to the State were just aspirants.

According to Balori, the VP did not need to come to Borno to seek for votes, because “we know you very well. You have done a lot for us. Everybody here knows what you have done for us. The delegates know. We shall pay you back. One good turn deserves another. Your Excellency, the delegates of Borno are for you. We are declaring here that you are our candidate.”
